The pilot reported that he was south of the private airstrip, and had lined up the airplane for a straight in landing to the north on the 1800 foot grass runway. Also, he reported that the there was a tailwind of approximately 5 knots during landing. When he applied the brakes on the grass runway, the tires began to skid. The airplane went off the end of the runway, through a fence, and impacted a ditch. The aircraft operating handbook data indicated that the airplane's landing performance was adequate for the landing runway, and the local conditions.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate short field landing procedure/technique. The tailwind and grass runway were related factors.
